Donald Trump Jr. spoke to a crowd of supporters in Gilbert, trying to drum up enthusiasm in the final days before the election.

Donald Trump Jr. is the latest surrogate for the Republican presidential nominee to come through the Valley in the final days before the election.

On Friday morning, Trump Jr. called on a crowd of several hundred in downtown Gilbert to keep Arizona red. He also urged supporters to speak with anyone they may know who is considering voting for the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

"Ask them, which policy of her's are they supporting? The public policy or the private policy. Which one? I'm curious. Because I know the Clintons have been said to be worth up to 250 million dollars. Doing what? What job have they created? What business have they created?," Trump Jr. said.

Recent polls show Trump leading Clinton in Arizona. His son is the latest in a string of high-profile visits this week, which included Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine, as well as Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence. 

Trump Jr. said his father was more than just a candidate, but had created a "movement" that voters in Arizona are craving.

"They are sick and tired of the false promises. They are sick and tired of someone in a far off land living the American dream because we've sent it there," Trump Jr. said. 

Trump Jr. was joined by Republican Congressional candidate Andy Biggs and Utah's Senator Orrin Hatch.
